Zoo Keeper Experience
Due to the success of our popular adult keeper for a day experience, we are now offering a taster version for 16 year olds and over.
£170 per person
This amazing experience will allow animal lovers to get up close with some of our most loved animals and give them an exclusive glimpse into what really goes on behind the scenes at one of the biggest and most visited zoos in the UK.
Your Experience Presenter Keeper will reveal the full schedule of activities on the day which could include cleaning the tapir enclosure, feeding our giraffes, making enrichment activities for the mongoose or preparing feed for our spectacled bears!
The experience will be fun and educational but you should be prepared for some hard work!
